Milton (ENGL 220)
Miltons characteristic use of simile is explored in Books One and Two of Paradise Lost. Particular attention is paid to how Miltons similes work to support, undermine, and complicate both the depiction of Satan and the broader thematic concerns of the poem, such as the ideas of free will and divine providence. The critical perspectives of Geoffrey Hartman and Stanley Fish are incorporated into an analysis of Satans shield and spear and the simile of the leaves.
